About Us

Knowing how to handle money well doesn’t just happen. It’s a serious skill that takes real WORK. Only, for a long time I didn’t realize it!

And when I did, I often felt defeated, overwhelmed and in over my head. Throughout my adult life I’ve read books, picked up tips, and learned the hard way how to handle money. One of the hardest things for me to learn has been how to be frugal and grateful at the same time. The truth is, I tend to get a bit grumpy when I get really frugal. I feel oppressed and poor and…well, you get the picture.

So, I’ve been working to be grateful through this frugal season we are in. And the blog? Well, It’s here for all of us. Because, if you are at all struggling to find contentment and gratitude in the midst of lean times, then I’d like to be your friend. I want to learn from you. I want to know how you keep a good attitude, how you are saving money, paying off debt, saving for that certain “something,” I want to learn form you, and I want to be here for you. Let’s grow together.
